Skullgirls GD, Keepin' It Classy In Medici -- Now out in EU/AU!

[Ben_Perkins]

Throwing this out there:

I’d pay for colors I can’t unlock cuz I suck. This is something I’d do.

[Russai]

I’m on the PSN in North America…

Ah. Dunno then, try it out and see if it works? I haven’t heard any other issues with NA PSN.

Going of the video, the loading times are, roughly, this long using the loading text/bomb animation as a basis:
0:04 to character select screen in training mode
0:09 to load up a 3 on 3 match

Installed to internal 4GB memory
0:25 to character select screen in training mode
0:27 to load up a 3 on 3 match.

Installed to 320GB HDD
0:12 to character select screen in training mode
0:20 to load up a 3 on 3 match

Thank you, I sincerely appreciate this.

Question though, since it makes a difference for the 3v3 match part: Did you load the same 3v3 as was in your test spot in the video? Duplicate characters are only loaded once, so Peacock/Parasoul/Cerebella vs. same team (even in a different order) would have a much shorter loading time than PPC vs Filia/Valentine/Double.

So obviously the flash memory is slower than the HDD, which stands to reason, but the fact that from the actual HDD it’s that much slower even to get into character select is kinda nuts…4 sec to 12 sec is huge. It might be fragmentation, because the devkits/test kits don’t have other junk installed beforehand, and fragmentation CAN make that much of a difference since it has to seek the head way more. We don’t have any way of testing changes on a retail system since that’s the point of devkits, and I don’t even know if it’s possible to defrag a 360 hard drive…but given that they’re identical hardware that’s my best guess.

Wanna try it? (^.^)

[Minerva_SC]

Am I doing something wrong, or are Cerebella tick command throws ridiculous?

[not_so_saint_1]

Yeah. Didn’t play game myself yet but 2nd and 3rd char’s portraits seems to be quite unrecognizable. Maybe their insignias will help? That way they’ll be helpful. They don’t have much use as of now.

[edit] Guess it wasn’t a double post. Thread moves fast.

Load times
(even from ping 60-70, I’ve had 10+ seconds of “Waiting for Opponent”, not sure if that’s a known thing)

“Waiting for Opponent” = your console is done loading, the other person’s is not. So you probably get that more on 360 because other peoples’ loading times are worse on 360?

Chip is good because chip should be good. Move or die.
And because it goes up per ratio. And because pushblocking prevents you from taking red health damage from chip, so anything that chips you during pushblock you can heal back.

“Quick Match” is ranked; things that say “Player Match” or “Unranked” aren’t. Tiers are kinda roughly divisions of the ranked space, so 100-90, 90-80, etc.

[Shurokun]

Okay, so here is my question. And I won’t say everything about the situation since some people haven’t beaten Cerebella’s story, but is Vitali her foster dad? I could have sworn it was mention before. If so, what is up with the ending? xD

Oh and how do we unlock, Double and Valentine’s story modes?

[PianoDensetsu]

Just got the game, absolutely going crazy over the music, is there anywhere I can get the soundtrack? Would love to make some piano covers of some of the music in this game. <3

[Dullyanna]

I’ve got a humble request for anybody posting a combo: Please fucking list who you use it on (Including team size because that affects damage) so we have it as a point of reference. It isn’t a huge deal but I like to think that it also isn’t asking for particularly much.

[Sanger_Zonvolt]

Hey I’m number 16 on the leaderboards haha, and Mike is number 6.

PROTIP- finishing the arcade in team of 3 unlocks the arcade finish color for all 3 characters you used.

[98989898]

It’s basically the game getting very slightly rolled back on slower connections and replaying the same sound again.

It’s not an easy thing to fix, but it’s something we hope to address in the first patch.

Maybe this helps? http://mauve.mizuumi.net/2012/03/08/how-i-didnt-clip-the-sound-effects/

I loaded up just random teams the first time, here’s the numbers I get custom picking:

HDD
0:14 same characters
0:20 different characters

Internal
0:24 same characters
0:34 different characters

As for HDD maintenance, best there is on the system is clearing the system cache, which didn’t change to load times at all.

Hey guys, not sure where it was located, but is there like a full guide to characters on here? Or is the only one the one on the wikia page for Skullgirls?

[RustyShacklefurd]

Am I doing something wrong, or are Cerebella tick command throws ridiculous?

That’s usually how most command grab setups are. Just gotta look for the setup up and jump. Of course then if the Bella notices this be prepared for AA grabs or other responses :P. Mix ups, woo!

[Hazardous]

I find it funny that my main team are the boobiest and chunkiest of the cast…

If you want the better version of the wiki guide, I’ll PM you my paypal info…

I love making faking the lockinload and canceling it into Showstopper.

Also running, stopping short, and merry go rillla.

Just amazing that I’m having more fun with a $15 XBLA title with only 8 characters then I have been with a certain retail fighting game with 38 characters that cost me $70…

Good job Mr Z… hope the game sells well and the community thrives
